I'm an animator/media creator based out of Houston, Texas.

In 2013, I officially launched Paper Brain Productions as a full-time animation production company specializing in stylized paper-based animation. Since then, Paper Brain has won five awards at various international film festivals, been selected to be a part of the Texas Filmmaker's Showcase 2014, and contracted to make animations for the first season on the Amazon Original Series "Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street". And somewhere in-between, we've been a part of several fun and exciting commercial animation projects (we just won 5 Addy awards)!

Before Paper Brain Productions, I animated the 2-time "Best Original Series" Vimeo Festival + Awards nominated web series Paper People Jokes, and produced an animated mini-series with Emmy-winning children's program superstar Mark Kistler. My animations have also been Vimeo Staff Picks on four different occasions, and can be seen on Show Me the Animation, Electric Literature, and Cinebarre Theaters across the country.
